Your Mobile Unit Starts with an Idea

What is your niche? It is important to establish what makes you special. Put pen to paper, and decide what exactly you want to serve your customers. The restaurant industry is a competitive one, and to be successful you need not only a good location and a strong work ethic, but a great product that will have customers coming back for more.

Create a mock-up menu, and figure out your costs. Talk to the chefs, restaurateurs, and food truck owners you know, and ask them about the ups and downs of the Industry. You need to have a solid business plan if you are looking for financing (section 5)

The last important part of taking an idea and turning it into reality is establishing a budget. Whether or not you will be operating full time or part time, you will need start up capital to get on the road.
